Job 40

Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,

et adiecit Dominus et locutus est ad Iob

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

numquid qui contendit cum Deo tam facile conquiescit utique qui arguit Deum debet respondere ei

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

respondens autem Iob Domino dixit

Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

qui leviter locutus sum respondere quid possum manum meam ponam super os meum

Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

unum locutus sum quod utinam non dixissem et alterum quibus ultra non addam

Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

respondens autem Dominus Iob de turbine ait

Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

accinge sicut vir lumbos tuos interrogabo te et indica mihi

Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

numquid irritum facies iudicium meum et condemnabis me ut tu iustificeris

Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

et si habes brachium sicut Deus et si voce simili tonas

Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

circumda tibi decorem et in sublime erigere et esto gloriosus et speciosis induere vestibus

Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

disperge superbos furore tuo et respiciens omnem arrogantem humilia

Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

respice cunctos superbos et confunde eos et contere impios in loco suo

Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

absconde eos in pulvere simul et facies eorum demerge in foveam

Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

et ego confitebor quod salvare te possit dextera tua

Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

ecce Behemoth quem feci tecum faenum quasi bos comedet

Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

fortitudo eius in lumbis eius et virtus illius in umbilicis ventris eius

He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

constringit caudam suam quasi cedrum nervi testiculorum eius perplexi sunt

His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

ossa eius velut fistulae aeris cartilago illius quasi lamminae ferreae

He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

ipse principium est viarum Dei qui fecit eum adplicabit gladium eius

Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

huic montes herbas ferunt omnes bestiae agri ludent ibi

He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

sub umbra dormit in secreto calami et locis humentibus

The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

protegunt umbrae umbram eius circumdabunt eum salices torrentis

Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

ecce absorbebit fluvium et non mirabitur habet fiduciam quod influat Iordanis in os eius

He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

in oculis eius quasi hamo capiet eum et in sudibus perforabit nares eius
